There was a boy who sang his song just different
I know a man dressed as a woman, heels, curly wig and nails

Yes, in Dakota

I know we can always be the same
And in Dakota
Yes, in Dakota
Fell for a boy who sold him powder and pills

He cried for help and no one came, he died in the rain
Come on, Dakota
Please remember the nights we spent alone
One day you will wake up unchained
These awful things burn away with the sun
Blood washed down him like a faucet
And in Dakota

Yes, in Dakota
It's okay to feel a little strange

And in Dakota
Come on, Dakota

One day he will wake up unchanged
I know we can always be the same
These awful things are gone with morning sun
In the city where you lay, we are young and nearly famous
But thunder cracks and buildings burn, everything will change

Tell me you don't wish I was still the same
So they stabbed him in the arms

And the younger boy with the older man, he made it all wrong
But lightning strikes, buildings fall, and everything did change
